Owen Meany and I have something in common. We both have several situations that give us the "shivers." Sometimes shivers are triggered by good things--- a wedding of any kind, whether real or make believe, gets to me; a new baby makes me melt; a beautiful musical composition or painting brings tears to my eyes. Other circumstances have the opposite effect. Funerals make me face my own mortality; the idea of a ghost makes my spine tingle; tornadoes and hurricanes scare me to death. But the thought that makes me shiver AND shudder is this---an unknown, inexperienced woman from Alaska could be a heartbeat away from running our wonderful country! Please vote for Obama.
